Dayton, Ohio is very proud of the Wright bothers who were credited with inventing and building the first successful airplane. This is a small airport down the road that features a museum. It's very small and took only about 20 minutes before Daniel went running out the front door.
This airplane is a replica of the Wright Brothers airplane. The pilot of this bit of history told us that he flies a couple times per week and takes anyone over about ten years of age for a ride.
He does take it to fly-ins all over Ohio at least. It's a great topic for discussion as he gets a ton of attention from the rest of the airplane enthusiasts around.

He explained how the plane works. The Wright Brothers first invented a bicycle. They used the idea for the bicycle to create the plane... with an engine. David wanted to know how they made the engine. Good kid. The pilot told him that he wouldn't understand that until he was older. I bet mom and dad could show him. :-)
The kids did get to tour the cockpit. Then, we moved on to Henry Ford. What a treasure they have in this car.
That was about it. Daniel was gone by the time I was taking this picture.
